Trump’s demands get more unhinged amid his war on Democrats

President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed — rallying his campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies.

“The Mayor of Chicago should be in jail for failing to protect officers from the ice! So should Governor Pritzker!” Asset wrote In an article on Truth Social.

Trump made the comment as Texas National Guard troops Preparing to deploy to the streets of Chicago protecting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from protesters demonstrating against agents’ violent behavior toward city residents.

Pritzker quickly responded to Trump’s call for his arrest, saying he “will not back down.”

“What else is left on the path to full-fledged authoritarianism?” Pritzker said In a post on Bluesky. “Its masked agents are already seizing people in the street. Separate children from their parents. Create fear. Taking people for “what they look like”. Make people feel to carry citizenship documents.

Given that Trump has gotten yes men in his corrupt administration to accuse At least one of his foes – FBI Director James Comey – say everyone should take seriously Trump’s demand to jail Pritzker and Johnson.

“Trump said this stuff all the time in his first term and people blew him up because [the Department of Justice] ignored him. But with Comey’s indictment and other investigations into his enemies listing this term, [we] must take these deadly threats seriously,” Matthew Miller, who served in the Justice Department under former President Barack Obama, wrote In an article on X on Wednesday, the day Comey is expected in federal court. “He wants it, and so does the bureaucracy.”

Meanwhile, all the evidence on the ground shows that it is Pritzker and Johnson, not Trump and Ice, who are trying to protect Illinois residents from harm. Trump’s henchmen have been violent toward peaceful protesters and other city residents.

Several instances of Ice’s horrible behavior were caught on video.

For example, the ice cream was taken on camera attacker Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, who was peacefully protesting at a nearby ICE facility.

Video shows federal agents throwing tear gas In a lively area, near a grocery store and a primary school. And another recent video shows masked federal officers shooting a praying priest in the head with a pepper ball.

Both Johnson and Pritzker have condemned the Trump administration’s violence toward Illinois residents and even filed a lawsuit to try to stop Trump from further inflaming tensions by sending in the National Guard.

“ICE’s abusive tactics have no place in our city, and our elected officials will continue to stand with residents against this attempt to pierce through fear and intimidation,” Johnson said wrote In an article on X earlier this month.

Federal agents have been so violent that a group of journalists and others filed suit Tuesday against the Trump administration, claiming that the violent behavior of federal officers in Chicago is an attempt to silence them through fear, against their First Amendment rights.

Of complaint:

There is no legitimate law enforcement purpose for these actions. Protesters do not take actions that threaten federal officers. The brutality of federal officers is not a response to the violation of any previously issued order to disperse or desist. Rather, the brutality described in the preceding paragraphs is deployed solely to silence dissent, intimidate and instill fear.

Meanwhile, Trump and the Bloodthirsty Dopes in his administration claimed that the Ice Agents were the real victims.

“Just. wrote In a Sept. 29 memo in which she said she authorized federal officials to “suppress all unlawful riots and arrest each person suspected of threatening or assaulting a federal law enforcement officer or engaging in federal law enforcement operations.”

Yet even a grand jury—which almost never fails to return indictments when prosecutors seek them—refused to charge Two protesters accused Noem of assaulting ICE officers.

This is the last grand jury of refuse to indicate people that the Trump administration has accused of assaulting federal law enforcement officers.

As Trump acts increasingly lawless, we must hope that the legal system continues to adapt to his assaults on Americans’ fundamental freedoms.
